Di-Directional Isolator
So tired of replacing these,, Isolator What is the alternative.
Forum Discussion
Bird is a voltage sensitive switch that monitors house and starting batteries voltage all the time. Its output is 1A maximum on coil terminal and it operates the coil of the relay only.The coil is isolated from relay megacurrents.
I would want to know the voltage on ignition terminal of the BIRD in actual operation on the road(slow running diesel). You can temporarily install length of wire just for measuring purposes. Just remember there is full voltage on it.
The other thing to remember is that there is a delay about 2.5 minutes before relay closes and when it closes, coil terminal has full voltage on it for a short time and then it drops to about 4V just to hold relay closed and to prevent overheating relay
